Guns Not Working

Recommended Posts

Why do guns not work when you pick them up from somebody else?

I can get them in my hand, but i can't aim. I also cannot hipfire shoot.

 

This got me killed so many times, i got killed by it just now,

Long story short, i had a gun picked up with ammo but i could't use it, and died because of that.

Have you tried relogging / dropping the gun and picking it up again at any point?

I have a friend who had an issue with not being able to ADS with his rifle, and it seemed to be resolved by dropping the weapon and picking it back up without fists raised. As far as not being able to fire the weapon at all, that is most likely due to the condition of the weapon and ammunition. If a gun is ruined it will not function, and I'm not sure if you can even load ruined ammo anymore.

Dropped multiple times, and yes i know relogging fixes the problem but there were some guys i was hunting down in the town and i really wanted him down, but i didnt know the server name so i couldn't relogg.

Everything was pristine.

1.: Hitting "Play" throws you in the last server you were in.

2.: Doesn't make sense whatsoever, if your gun doesn't work you can't hunt anyone anyway.

Super annoying bug.  So is the bug where you can't see items in people's inventories.

1. Hitting play shows server browser for me.

2. I had a pistol left i was using to hunt him down, so it makes sense.

Yes, this one is the most annoying bug yet, you pick up a pristine hunters backpack and its empty, you can't put anything in it, you relogg and find it full with ruined stuff, the backpack is ruined also.

As far as I can tell this is a desync issue. I've shot players in the head and watched their bodies slide across the ground at sprinting speeds to cover and then finally die, then access to their inventory takes a couple minutes to become available.

I've had them just never become visible the entire playthrough, as well as relogging to have it still not work.  Some times my group mates can see the stuff, some times they can't.

 

One thing that works, some of the time, is to try to put an item into whatever container/clothing it is.  That will some times make things pop into view, but the problem is if all the slots are occupied it's not possible.
